Dissolution

Two figures stand side by side, arms overlapping as if shielding, dancing or signalling. Their eyes meet ours, steady and alert, and their limbs indicate protection, resistance or care. The painting lets gesture speak where words fall away. It’s a portrait of connection held in physical form. In its interplay of bodies, it recalls the tension and dream-like quality of F.E McWilliam’s sculptural depiction of the human form.
